I don’t think you can fix it, you have to get a new one or start over again … I could be wrong.

can’t fix it. caused by glitches in the game/save file or you shut it off before it saved right. sorry to say, you’re S.O.L.ed

ah. you’ll need a new one altogether then. it might still be under warenty, depending on which one it is, though, so if you send it in or something you might be able to get a new one. you gotta have proof of purchase though

Dude, i know how to fix it because i fixed mine. Just wait a few mins after you save it then just turn it off and turn it back on.

there is a way to re start the corrupted save file…just email me what game and how it happened to you. Beware but this may affect you game. The game experience may change..you will bale to catch all 493 pokemon and some hard effects to the game.

I am in need of 10 different pokemon figures. I am missing Pupitar, Pineco, Snover, Azelf, Golem, Ralts, Claydol, Aron, Zapdos, and Budew. I was thinking about buying a collection from this LDU Company in China but I really don’t need 288 pokemon figures, and that is the smallest collection that I see them listing on their website www.LDUcompany.com

I am trying to find a place to buy just the ten that I need. Has anyone ever bought pokemon characters from this LDU website? Oh yeah, here is a link to the page with all the pokemons http://www.liangdianup.com/pokemons_1…

Any ideas please post and let me know :)

There is a little battery in the cartridge called a ‘Save Battery’ you have to replace it when it dies.

I know how to prevent AND stop the game from being corrupted.To prevent the game from corrupting all you have to do is don’t use action replay,don’t do any glitches and also DON’T EVER TURN OFF THE POWER WHILE IT’S STILL SAVING!!! And to stop corruption (if its already corupted)You have to wait a few second after saving every time you save until corruption stops,or just start a new game! Hope this helps!

What the heck? “Hello i like pokemon”? These answers aren’t very helpful -.- And I hope you were talking about replacing the batterie in gold version and not Diamond version cause I just don’t see how that is possible.
